Well I have decided to learn Python. Does anyone know how to do hello world?!

Fred · Mar 5th, 2005, 12:40 PM

I take it, that you already have the python compiler:

print 'Hello World'

Not that hard, is it??

A little more advanced:

(Toggle Plain Text)

# this will print  Hello World!  10 times
for q in range(10):
  print "Hello World!"

Really advanced:

(Toggle Plain Text)

# this will spell it out for you
for c in "Hello World!":
  print c

Really, really advanced:

(Toggle Plain Text)

# this will spell it out for you with sound effect

import winsound

for c in "Hello World!":
  print c
  winsound.Beep(800,100)

Show off!

Just to make me feel stupid..

I prefer to to make it say it ten times like so

(Toggle Plain Text)

x = 0
while x < 10:
     print "Hello, World."
     x = x + 1

You did it the simplest way!!! What's so stupid about that?

Fred · Mar 6th, 2005, 2:13 PM

I was jsut kidding with you...

Hope you did not take offense!?

If you really wanted to make "Hello, world!" difficult for yourself, you could do:

import sys
sys.stdout.write("Hello, world!\n")

Good thought...
What is actually the point of this complicated syntax for the 'print' statement?
Has it any special powers, that justify it's existens, or has it survived out of an older version of python? --> somewhat off topic, but it just interested me.

If you have wxPython v2.5 installed, you can really show it off!

(Toggle Plain Text)

# Hello World using Python 2.3 and wxPython 2.5

import wx

def create(parent):
    return Frame1(parent)

[wxID_FRAME1, wxID_FRAME1STATICTEXT1] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(2)]

class Frame1(wx.Frame):
    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, id=wxID_FRAME1, name='', parent=prnt,
              pos=wx.Point(326, 167), size=wx.Size(523, 173),
              style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, title='Show it off!')
        self.SetClientSize(wx.Size(515, 133))

        self.staticText1 = wx.StaticText(id=wxID_FRAME1STATICTEXT1,
              label=' Hallo World!', name='staticText1', parent=self,
              pos=wx.Point(0, 0), size=wx.Size(515, 133), style=0)
        self.staticText1.SetFont(wx.Font(48, wx.SWISS, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL,
              False, 'Comic Sans MS'))
        self.staticText1.SetForegroundColour(wx.Colour(255, 255, 0))
        self.staticText1.SetBackgroundColour(wx.Colour(0, 128, 64))

    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
    frame = create(None)
    frame.Show()

    app.MainLoop()

Go ahead, call me a show-off!
Actually I cheated a little, and used the Boa Constructor visual IDE. I only entered "Hello World!" and set the font and colors, clicking on the right places. Oh Gee! I am not a show-off after all!
